LOL, his Mum Sharon is usually the one cooking them all … never seen Russell do it. :D

DJR should retire Will Davidson and get Todd in full-time!

Been served by Todd there a couple of times over the years, before he rose to fame and fortune ;)

And yep agree re Davidson, well past his use by date

One of the all time great Bathurst races yesterday. The last two hours you could not look away.
If you want to go quickly, go alone.

If you want to go far, go together.

In fairness, I did, but I also did come back to it when it got to the pointy end. Great end to the race though.

Garry Rogers has sadly passed away, aged 80. The Supercars Hall of Fame member, former driver and long-time team boss played a pivotal role in Australian motorsport, helping launch the careers of Garth Tander, Steven Richards, Scott McLaughlin and many more.

Had a 2007 AFL GF party at a friends in the inner east, next morning (understandably feeling pretty good about the day before) left a huge skid in my old VL (loved that car) and got a swift msg "you cant do that here mate its the eastern suburbs not the north" - stuff em I say! Hope the F35 does a few low passes just to really rattle their windows.

NIMBYs have another 9 years to look forward to :lol:

Complete tragedy for Feney today, blatant WAU cheating via Ryan Wood robs him of the championship. Disgusting dog act.

Watched my last race today, becomes a farce from next year

Can see it now every race first 15 places will be Mustangs, just a matter of which team

The couple of GM teams left and Toyotas will be dragging the tails

Think the Feeney engine dramas were more of an issue than the act done by Wood

Perhaps questions should be asked of 888 re the engine issues after Feeney made a big point about it yesterday

Dont mind Mostert, great driver and person, as for his team boss, what a cockhead :roll:
